Good Day!
I just picked up a shiney new Galaxy S II from ATT (from my iPhone 4). I've had various Android tablets, and rooted many droid phones (including the Vibrant I had a week).
However I'm unsure which CF-root to use with this baby, and I don't want to brick it.
Under Settings, About Phone this is what is listed.
Android Version
2.3.4
Baseband
I777UCKH7
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7
My understanding is the CF-Root I need would use KH7, but I haven't found one (at least in the CF-Root thread, but its 200+ pages long!)
Any information would rock my world and save quite a bit of time for me!
Thank you!
Hey there
XDA created a new forum for AT&T SGS2 located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1301 I just did a quick check and see a few rooting threads under development you might want to check out. This forum is for the international galaxy s ii so you most likely won't find the kernel you're looking for to root here since its technically a different model with the soft key buttons and all. I believe Codeworkx created a rooting solution over there
Hope this helps
Thank you, not 5 minutes after I posted this did I find the link to the other forums! rock on xda!
I just got it... can u send me the link?
I have the same problem, do you think you can send me the link to download it?? thanks!
Cf-Root fot ATT SGS2

Hi guys...I am a rookie in this items and fell the same problem to install ROMs or Kernel due to our SG2 from AT&T are coming with the 3er edition of the Recovery software that don't permit to open a zip files unsigned we have to downgrade to a 2nd edition using a Cf -Root and have a lot of files.

Dude, this is a 6 month old thread, and the ATT Galaxy s2 forum is linked in post 2 above.
I've been given a SGS2 to mess about with and I'm having a bit of trouble with it.
The first thing I'm confused about it which variant I have.
I see on the sticker under the battery
Model: GT-I9100
SSN: I9100GSMH
Does that mean its the 'G' variant?
I think it was on Orange UK previously.
The second thing I confused by is the different flashing and rooting options.
I see you can use ODIN or CWM, you can use ODIN to flash pit/kernel/CSC/PDA files etc.
However, I've read references to using insecure kernels to allow rooting causing warning triangles and there being better methods.
Some refer to PIT files needing to be used to fix soft-bricks and some posts say never use them.
I'm just really confused by there being so many conflicting posts.
If anyone can answer some of the questions, even if it's just with links to helpful posts/threads I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance all.
It is NOT the G variant.
G variant would say:
Model: GT-i9100G
Regarding the SSN: portion, the G following I9100 is part of the "GSM" portion of the string, identifying what type of phone it is.
In terms of reading: start here.
Perfect, thanks.
Hi everyone
First time post here so, hello...
I have recently bought what i thought was a Samsung Galaxy S3 but on further inspection it appears to be a fake.
Some things that are wrong include:
Battery says Sunsung
Baseband version: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V20 2012/07/13 18:23
Kernel version: 3.0.13 [email protected]#1 Sat Aug 4 02:00:11 CST 2012
Build number: IMM76D.I9300ZSALE9
Custom build version: 1344016820
Any ways i was wondering if any one knows if it possible to flash the phone to a relatively new version of cyanogenmod?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
seems you got a mediatek (mtk) clone.
Not only will they not run the official operating system including aftermarket ones like Cm (completely different hardware) but they are vastly less powerful and have less interesting hardware than the real S3.
Additionally they don't tend to live very long and have lots of issues.
Try to return it if possible and go to local police.
If you imported it from eg China you're out of luck, buh then again how do u expect an original from there?

I also have mediatek version of an s3..GT-i9300.. If not root and I hope not offensive, many of us cannot afford such an expensive devise. However, Android is and will always will be an open source project... meaning the platform is simply a measure of fire power.. What i realy want to say is that my devise may not be original samsung.. but my OS is Andoid for sure.. and I think developers in this forum are assisting with andoid development and not samsung development.
I am looking for a compatible rom for MEDIATEK version of S3 GT-i9300. So far i came across needrom.com and also on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358560 where some discussion are ongoing.. (i do note that the scatter file selection is not mentions (where to get the scatter file). I downloaded a zip archive (ROM) and after extracting, it didnt have a scatter.txt file..
I would like to ask if cynogenmod (any) builds are compatible/can be installed? I need advise on available roms...or how to find if one will be compatible..
Thanks in advance for the valuable time...and the understanding..

Cyanogenmod only supports the original S3 devices so you'll have no luck on finding one. And roms for clones are scarce so i'm afraid you'll have to find a dedicated forum that supports your device.
There is a cm9 that booted by superdragonpt but its just way too buggy as he stated, he fixes one error two new ones come out, complete scource code can hardly be found for it. so we are stuck with just theming and modding and if you like to get your hands dirty, heres a thread with guides compatible for mtk phones http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369586

As said either find a fake forum or build a rom yourself .
Knowledge of fake/ clone is not on this forum .
Simply its not a Samsung product and questions should be posted in a Mediatek forum .

You are wrong. This forum is for android development of the gt-i9300 international galaxy s3. Nothing else. None of us have your device so we cannot help with development, methods, processes or roms.
There are general forums to teach how to develop android for a device generally but without drivers, source code etc, you won't get far. Either way though, this is not the place for that.
Regardless of what you can afford, you must seek out your own forum for your own device. Your device has nothing in common with this device or this forum. It doesn't even share any hardware.

I at no time mentioned that the GTi9300 MTK i have is anything common with "your"device.. i am saying is, both are android platform (samsung or AOSP) and development forums are to discuss on issues faced during tweaks.. sorry to ask here... if thats the reason u were offended.
the name of the post here is "ROOTING/FLASHING CYNOGENMOD ON "FAKE" S3... i think i am in the correct place?

You don't understand either. Android is open source, but is also phone specific ! In each built you have a kernel that runs specific drivers for in built hardware present in your phone!
And for that cm devs need code source. And I think above all that's it's a 'ethical' reason. If cm supports border line illegal clones, it will officialize them.
Those phones are totally different it's exactly the same than asking in a HTC forum why they can't provide you a Rom for your Sony.

You need to find a fake SGS3 forum .

So is motorola razr. Truth is posting here is no different to posting in the razr forum. You chose this forum because it looks the same but the similarity ends there.
This forum is for the international s3 only. Not razr. Not clone.

please your comments
Hi, I'm not able to post in "[CENTRAL] CF-Auto-Root" due I am have not posts so Im not permitted to post to development-related forums. However I am user since a long time and kept using a lot the forum as well as the CF-ROOT for my Samsungs phone I had s3/s4 and now s6 edge.
Actually I notice that the android version for SM-G925I in the webPage is still 6.0.1 and despite I read that It could work sometimes, it is not the case. I have the new version Android 7.0 for G925I, and I would like to use CF-ROOT but for this would need your help on this ( @Chainfire ) .
I have the recovery.img for this version 7.0 --> G925IDVU3FQE2. I would like to know if is possible to be done and in that case if I should upload in any cloud site and share the link.
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
Before commenting, I did try to search unsatisfactorily to see if there is a Samsung Galaxy M-52G corner but unfortunately it seems not.
My specific device is Android (Samsung; SM-M526B; Lahaina; arm64-v8a) v12 . In the inventory section, I had to add M51 although I don't own it and have only M52G.
My actual question is, can I root M52G, and does it use all the files, and resources that M51G uses?
I am on a Debian testing box (no Windows) so what sort of precautions I need to take. I do understand I would have to take a backup but dunno the different ways I can go about it. The best for me is to backup all the info. on a thumb-drive unless people think that is a wrong option.
Looking forward to know more.
